It's awful how much money he's making from us this summer but if it wasn't from United it would be one of the other rich clubs with money to burn this transfer window. Still shocking agents like that who lets face it, probably doesn't actually do all that much at all, get millions from these big deals happening.

Why are people asking for something new? This is all but done. The next step will be an announcement which may take a few days while the final details are concluded. Don't lose your shit if it's quiet for the next few days.
@RDCR07 So close to 1k!
There is no deal according to Raiola himself. 
Probably just trying to apply public pressure so he gets paid but still, there is no deal.

He was right the first time, it was done in 48 hours, now he'll tell us it will be official in 48 hours
Adidas are our official kit sponsors but we still own all the rights to our logo. They legally cannot use it without our permission.
We aren't daft enough to lend out intellectual property for a player we aren't a 100 percent sure signed. We are a publically traded enterprise and reputational management is one thing we do.
I am pretty sure that Pogba ad will be part of an extended piece once he has been unveiled. You can quote me on this when it does happen.
Yup. They are not going to announce anything tomorrow to overshadow Zlatan's big day in Sweden. Then it's the Rooney match after that..
exactly.
Not that they necessarily do enough to justify the money they earn, but modern day agents basically run these footballers' lives for them.
Have a read on the analysis dann10 or whats his name is over at juventuz has done. He has done an analyzis of the Adidas campaign and the Raiola tweets from his mom's basement, and is now hailed as Nostradamus mach2 over there.
They are even more desperate than us.

As has been shown in that graph, when you account for our turnover this is only our 3rd biggest signing ever. He's clearly got loads of quality and, at 23, represents a long-term investment.
We've splashed big on young, somewhat unproven players before (Rooney, Rio) and there is an element of risk but if we got him to his potential then it's well worth it.
That's leaving aside the marketing side of it by the way.
Oh Raiola said the deal isn't done?
Basically confirms it's done. It's Raiola after all. Guessing this gets announced Monday.

What a muppet he would make!
Has this 48 hours got anything to do with Eddie Murphy?
Cue someone photoshopping a movie poster
I take it we don't announce signings over the weekend usually?
Watch that poster being his biggest fan in a year or 2.
No, he said the deal is not done. There's a difference. He didn't say that a deal has not been agreed to. Last summer, was there a deal agreed between United and Madrid for DDG? Yes. Was that deal ever a done deal? No. If it was done, DDG would be a Madrid player, and Keylor Navas would be a United player. Done means signed, registered, etc. Especially when it's someone like an agent, lawyer, etc., where very exact wording is a hallmark of their business.There is no deal according to Raiola himself.
Probably just trying to apply public pressure so he gets paid but still, there is no deal.
That's what I was reffering to.
I think adidas did it very well to put some hints for sides in there so everyone talks about is - we'll see what the ending looks like..
This is no fun without the big hitters in here

Do not go to sleep! Di Marzio update incoming.
For sure?
I'm guessing.
And its due to Fergie's mistake 4 years that we are currently in this position. The man is a legend, no question, but he definitely dropped the ball on Pogba.
Twitter will have an absolute meltdown whenever Pogba is confirmed.
Toying with a fellow muppet's emotions! How dare you?!
Haven't accessed the internet all day, just got in, expecting to read about the Poggy announcement, and nothing.
Grrr..
Grrr..
From past experiences (Mkhi) nothing happens during the weekend. Be patient.
I'm trying to stir you guys up, we've only got 2/3 more days in this thread until it's closed and moved to the Manchester United forum!
If there is any negative to this window it's going to be that we have multiple players with Raiola as their agent. He comes across as such an asshole and this is when he's working deals in our favour.
What he meant was 48 hours in a 24 series type format. 1 hour every week, until the ultimate twist at the end of episode 24. We go back in time and resign Anderson who has lost weight and is a 100 mil player.
Just to make sure the point about journalists wasn't aimed at you but a general observation I've made following this thread for weeks without getting involved. And you're spot on regarding trusting Twitter-information blindly considering how many pretenders and frauds there are out there. We should all read all transfer updates with very critical eyes and the extendes use of anonymous sources obviously weakens every story. That said, it doesn't mean that some of them doesn't excist. Di Marzio was just an example of a guy that has a proven track record when it comes to transfer stories involving Raiola's clients. RMC' Mohamed Bouhafsi is another one regarding everything Ligue 1-related but those guys are few and far between.
Regarding your point about BBC I can see where it's coming from but that's more about an editorial stance within the organization that they don't contribute to transfer speculation unless they've got some sort of confirmation from one or more of the parties involved. Some BBC reporters has said that the deal is close to completion on Twitter, though. After Moyes left United has, as far as I'm concerned, run a pretty tight ship with not much information leaking out until the clubs ready to go public itself and I guess the BBC' not that well sourced when it comes to Juventus, Pogba or Raiola which could be an explanation of the lack of updates.
What have I missed in the last 4 hours?
Nothing
Amazes me how people still doubt whether this deal has been done.
People who being pessimistic are A) just attention seeking, or B) just genuinely naive
